I was born with a Devaited Septum, and as I grew older I found it harder to breathe out of as it was getting worst. I use to call it my "bad nostril". If I ever got a stuffy nose I always had to breathe out of my mouth due to the reduced airflow. Thanks to Dr.Stallworths work I have two beautiful even septums and can barley remember which one was my bad nostril. Its made working out easier, made it easier to breathe while sick and so many other activities more managable due to the more airflow I get! If any of my friends asked where they should go I would definitely without a doubt only recommend this place as the best.

I was impressed with the amount of time and attention Dr. Stallworth gave me and answered all my questions and concerns. He has a great manner dealing with patients. His whole staff is very open and friendly. I am impressed with his work and his team.

For a few years now, I have had problems with my sinuses always sniffling, snorting, spraying Afrin, just to find some relief in a little simple life process called breathing. I went to see Dr. Stallworth and gave him a little history on my issue. He did an exam and noticed several things wrong with my nose. I had a deviated septum and my turbinates were swollen and crazy, and that surgery was going to be required to correct these problems. I'm kind of a nervous guy with some anxiety, but Dr. Stallworth and his staff made me feel like family. I felt they genuinely cared and wanted to help me get my wonderful nose back on track. I had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction on March 20th and today I'm breathing again with no Afrin or any other nasal decongestants. The staff always checked on me to ask how I was doing and I never felt as if I was bothering them. I just want to say thank you to Dr. Stallworth and his staff for being the professionals that they are. I highly recommend his services and hope that others seek Dr. Stallworth to help them breathe again.

I would like to take this opportunity to extol the services of Dr. Christian Stallworth and his staff. I came to him to repair a problem with my nose that was the end result of playing soccer for many years and taking a few elbows and soccer balls to the face. He was very open about the type of surgery I would require and the benefits of the surgery to me. Additionally, he was honest about the results I should expect and in fact they were better than I had anticipated. I was never uncomfortable with any of the staff and all the paperwork and appointments have been handled efficiently. I would recommend this doctor and his practice to anyone that is looking for a clinic that will handle your needs in a very friendly and comfortable way.

Dr. Stallworth and his team provided excellent care during all of my visits, surgery and post surgery care. He was totally focused on the best outcome for me. Since then, I have recommended others to his care and they have been thrilled with the results. I do not hesitate in recommending him for any type of facial plastic surgery.

Best facial plastic surgeon hands down! Have had several procedures done by Dr. Stallworth and would never trust anyone else with my face. He really cares about his patients, doesn’t push surgery if not needed and is a true artist! My mother is also a patient (bleph & brow list) as well as many friends who are all very pleased with his work! Don’t go to a general surgeon or dermatologist for facial procedures, he’s is board certified for facial procedures/surgery.

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Stallworth and his friendly, reliable staff. I have struggled with sinus pressure, headaches and sinus infections for years, which was made worse by my deviated septum. I also always hated the bump on my nose, so I decided to have both a septoplasty and rhinoplasty. I was pleased to find that Dr. Stallworth has an approachable yet professional style, and I always felt comfortable throughout the process. The best part of all is that I am very happy with my results. I’ve never breathed this well in my life, and I love the new appearance of my nose. Thank you Dr. Stallworth!

Dr. Stallworth and the staff were great! I had a crooked nose for over a decade from playing competitive sports, so after a recent job promotion I decided to finally look into fixing my nose and I could not be happier. From the initial consultation I could tell that I was in great hands. Dr. Stallworth knew exactly what I hoped to achieve and was upfront about fees, deadlines, and possible risks with the procedure. A highlight for me was how flexible Dr. Stallworth and his staff were - particularly with the fact that I live in Los Angeles and I didn't want to fly into San Antonio for every micro-step leading up to the procedure. They accommodated the location difference whenever possible which made it an overall seamless process. Also, shoutout to Gloria and everyone at the front desk who I spoke with on the phone over the course of a few months because they were always incredibly helpful and informative. I had the bandages taken off today (one week after my rhinoplasty) and absolutely love the result. Dr. Stallworth went into meticulous detail about everything he did to my nose and why, and he even noted that I might not have been breathing to my full potential for the past decade (???!) due to a slightly deviated septum. He answered every question I had and made sure to stress that he's easily reachable should any questions or emergencies arise in the future. (Which reminds me, bonus points: my rhinoplasty was on December 23rd, and he said I could call him - even on Christmas - if any complications arose following the procedure.) 100% recommend Stallworth Facial Plastic Surgery!

I just want to share my experience at Texas Plastic Surgery. I am so grateful I found Dr.Stallworth to do my rhinoplasty, I couldn’t be happier and extremely satisfied. It took me two years to get the courage to do this procedure. Not only he is an exceptional surgeon but also a great artist. He is professional, has excellent bedside manners and took the time to answer all my questions. If anyone is thinking about having facial plastic surgery, please schedule a consultation with him. I highly recommend him.

After a year of staring at increased signs of aging in my face on video conferences, (thanks, pandemic) I decided it was time to do something. Dr. Stallworth has a well-deserved reputation as the VERY BEST. His office staff is uniformly cheerful and efficient, making all the logistics easy. The entire group cares deeply about the patient experience and they are all fantastic at doing their jobs. If you're thinking about getting any work done....this is the place. You found it. Go on and book a consultation!

He is a god spent angel for us. I have never seen a surgeon like him, very thorough, down to earth, great at explaining the procedures. We always get positive vibes, can’t trust any other Dr over him for my daughter’s treatment. He gave us a new life. We are extremely satisfied with his surgeries outcomes. Highly recommend to all the parents with cleft lip and palate babies. He would change your baby’s life in a positive way. Receiving treatment from him is like a blessing.

I had the most amazing experience with doctor Stallworth and his whole staff. Dr. Stallworth is one of the most patient, personable, caring, and talented doctors I have ever met. He has the best bedside manners and has never ever made me feel rushed. His office staff is truly the best and they have always greeted me with kindness and smiles. I actually look forward to my appointments because everyone is so enjoyable to be around. Dr. Stallworth performed a Rhinoplasty on me and I am SO incredibly happy with how everything turned out. In office before my procedure, Dr. Stallworth was able to take a photo of me and tweak it to give me an idea of what to expect. This definitely helped to ease my nerves knowing that the doctor and I were on the same page. I am truly amazed with my results and have gained so much confidence since my procedure. You can tell that Dr. Stallworth truly loves what he does and takes so much pride in his work. Dr. Stallworth is a true artist and I HIGHLY recommend him!

I’m not exaggerating when I say that Dr. Christian Stallworth changed my life. I had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction performed about 2 months ago. For the last 10 years I have been unable to sleep soundly though the night. I’d wake up 1 to 3 times in the middle of the night unable to breathe through my nose. The congestion was terrible. It felt swollen, and no matter how much I blew my nose it was still congested. The daytime was okay, I could breathe alright and it didn’t bother me much because I wasn’t laying down. But it was the nighttime that I dreaded, knowing I’d feel terrible in the morning. This went on for years. I felt like a zombie most days because of lack of solid sleep. I went to different ENT’s and they always prescribed fluticasone or some other nasal spray for the problem. Nothing worked. I pretty much gave up and figured I’d live like that the rest of my life. I was told early on that I had a slight deviated septum, but nobody ever said it was the main problem preventing me from breathing or sleeping. I finally went to a different Dr. who performed a turbinate reduction. That alone didn’t help much. He recommended I go see Dr. Stallworth and get a septoplasty. I didn’t have high hopes initially because nothing ever seemed to work. Even after the surgery, I was cautious about the results. But the same day the stints were removed from my nose, I got great sleep. There was some swelling, but I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night unable to breathe. I waited 2 months before posting this review because I kept thinking my problems would come back. But everything has been great. I’ve gotten the best sleep I’ve had in years. I can’t recommend Dr. Stallworth enough. If you need the best surgeon around, go see him.

I wrote a review on 2018 but somehow is not here. So I will write it again and is gonna be a long one! This is about Dr Stallworth, but I'd like to mention a "surgeon" that did a terrible job on me and I want to share my whole story so no one has to go through it.. this will also show you why I recommend and trust Dr. Stallworth. I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Schaner on 2015. Even though the shape of my nose looked ok afterwards, my columella scar was hideous! It looked like someone just chopped me! It was crooked and my profile looked like someone glued to pieces of the bottom of my nose together without any care, one part was higher than the other. The first month I didn't even notice that cuz my nose was swollen, and looked terrible (something expected from a surgery) but a month, then 2 months passed and even though my nose was still swollen (a little less everyday), my scar looked BAD! Dr. Schaner kept telling me it was gonna be ok, for many months. I even had the idea that maybe my skin was the problem, I blamed myself but the longer I waited the more botched it looked. I kept waiting like he said but it was just getting worse! He kept telling me it would look better for a year and a half (maybe more)!! He performed 2 very painful scar revisions in the following years (I should have looked somewhere else already) and he just made everything worse and worse, I had severe depression because of the scar, for years! I had a terrible scar right in the middle of my face and I pushed myself to go through life like that. I gave up, I had to wear FX makeup to cover it and had to always remember not to touch my nose or the makeup will come off. Life was hell. I got engaged on 2017 to get married on April 2018. And I was DESPERATE to find someone that could fix my nose by then! I looked everywhere in San Antonio!! Until I found Dr. Stallworth! I made an appointment and he told me what he could do for me. He was so nice and gave me reassurance that he could make my scar look better! I wanna highlight that I was not a person that thought my nose was gonna look perfect, I knew that after my rhinoplasty I was gonna have a columella scar, but I did not know it was gonna mess up with the results of the entire surgery! I was obviously botched! I had the scar revision surgery with Dr Stallworth a week later and after a few days....it was AMAZING!!!! I had not smiled so much since 2015!! The bottom of my nose didn't look chopped anymore, it was smooth, in place and the scar looked tiny. I was and still am SO HAPPY that I found him! I looked everywhere for someone that could help me, and he did it! I got married with so much confidence in myself, the wedding picture I hang on my wall shows my profile and I always remember all the struggle I had to go through. That picture would have been so different if I never found Dr. Stallworth! I seriously thank him from the bottom of my heart! I am telling the whole story because I know many people get botched and NEVER mention who did it. I wanted to be very open about it and I really hope this is good information for someone else. PLEASE always do your research and look for information about the surgery you want and who will perform it. Always make sure you are in the right hands 🙏

For years I wanted to fix my nose but as a male I hesitated, to go through with a rhinoplasty. But after my breathing problems got worse during my sleep. I decided to make an appointment. After one FaceTime consultation with Dr.Stallworth, I felt comfortable and confident with my decision. I decided to have both a septoplasty and rhinoplasty and I loved my results. It helped my breathing drastically and boosted my self esteem with my new nose. Being from out of town, the staff working there were extremely accommodating and helpful, with scheduling. Every visit in the office was a fantastic experience.

Took my son to see Dr. Stallworth to assess his eyelid that had been damaged in a car accident. Dr. Stallworth and his staff are all very professional and kind. Dr. Stallworth is very compassionate and seems to be extremely knowledgeable in his field of practice. I would highly recommend Dr. Stallworth to anyone who may need plastic surgery.

This is my personal experience. I went in for a consultation for a septoplasty/rhinoplasty. From the beginning it was a disaster. The consult fee is $125 and they incorrectly charged me as using my insurance because you would think it would save you some out of pocket costs, but wait there’s a catch. When I brought up the fact that I paid $135 and my insurance was charged $158 their excuse was that the billing company didn’t do it correctly and that they would stop sending me a bill for $20, which of course still hasn’t happened. Also, if you do a septo/rhino they charge each procedure separately if they bill your insurance. You got it, two separate anesthesia charges, basically two surgeries even though you are only under anesthesia once. When I originally brought this up of course they didn’t come right and say yes we are charging you twice. This wasn’t brought up until my preop appointment. I mean rightfully so because that’s upsurd. Of course all of this happened after I put my 20% deposit which was $1300 and when I told them I was not going to do the surgery with them because of aforementioned issues. You guessed it. That deposit is retained by them. Keep in mind you cannot book your surgery without putting this deposit down. Dr. Stallworth charged my friend I sent there $10k for a neck lift and for my rhinoplasty $8950. You would think that if he was such a great doctor that he would offer at minimum a referral discount or even a hey thanks for the referral. Nope nothing like that. Do not go there because I don’t believe they treated me fairly or even valued me as a possible patient. This too could happen to you.

Dr. Stallworth charged my friend I sent there $10k for a neck lift and for my rhinoplasty $8950. In my opinion they try to maximize the amount of money they earn, whether you use insurance or not. You would think that if he was such a great doctor that he would offer at minimum a referral discount or even a hey thanks for the referral. Nope, nothing like that. Do not go there because I don’t believe they treated me fairly or even valued me as a patient. This too could happen to you.

If you want someone who pays attention to detail and is honest, this is the doctor to go to. I had a septo/rhinoplasty done and I could not be happier with the results. Not only do I not have a bump on my nose anymore, but I can actually breathe so much better. Dr. Stallworth and his team are fantastic. I bothered them numerous times with questions and concerns post-surgery both during office hours and after hours and they were there for me. Thank y'all for everything, I really appreciate it!

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Stallworth in the operating room as a nurse anesthetist and also recently was his patient. I could tell you from both sides that he is a perfectionist and and excellent surgeon. He is an expert in his field and has excellent bedside manner. After my procedure he even texted me personally to check on me multiple times. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs any facial plastic work done. You would be in the best of hands.

After years of research and multiple doctor’s appointments, I stumbled upon Dr. Stallworth’s page & reviews… I had got into a car accident and was putting off surgery for 11 years. Dr. Stallworth made me feel welcomed and comfortable and ready to tackle a yet very tricky surgery. He told me he could fix my years of insecurities from the damage that my car accident left me and that’s what he did! I can now breathe fully and comfortably, no more looking in the mirror and seeing the flaws. Him and his staff are such amazing people and I will recommend them over and over again. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor or a better staff, if you are ever doubting whether or not you should pick this facility, don’t let the doubts win. I am so genuinely thankful for my results and I didn’t think it could be done. He is an exceptional doctor with an amazing crew!

Dr. Stallworth & his staff are great! Very communicative & professional which made for a great experience altogether. I am barely one week post-op & the results have already exceeded my expectations. Dr. Stallworth is knowledgable, down to earth, and was transparent when setting expectations during my consultation. Bruising after the procedure was minimal which is a plus especially during the holiday season!

Well I love this place to be honest I would give it a 5 star , I'd love too actually but I had got my nose done and its not what I expect it to be. 🥺 its been 2 years since my surgery and my nose is slightly crooked and my nostrils are slanted the the side as if its not straight when i look up and stare at the mirror , at first it looked good but as time went by it started going to the side so besides that, the top of my nose isn't as narrow as it is on the other side so its not simertical . The process was great as in my visit , the staff , the doctor's etc but my nose tbh im not as happy as I thought i would be BUT I can breathe better i blow my nose 2 times a day now vs 20 + a day woohoo 🙌 I hope to get a 2nd nose job down the road ,I wish I didn't have to but now I need to fix this issue 👀 !!! I appreciate you guys anyways 🥰 you guys are still awesome.

I can’t comment on the surgeon himself, but the soonest consultation they even have is 6 months out (I just called July 6th and was told the week of Christmas is the soonest he can see me to even LOOK at if this is an option for me). How do you gauge where your deductible will be if it will take a year to even receive the surgery? I want to breathe before then.

Before making a consult with Dr Stallworth I drove to Austin to have my first consultation. However, after careful consideration I thought it best to seek another consultation. The Medspa I go to suggested I make an appointment with Dr Stallworth because I was spending way too much on trying to reverse the aging on my neck. I tell you, the doctor is very busy; took two months to get in to see him but it was all worth it in the end. I had my lower face and necklift procedure. I am a little over one month post op and the results are amazing! I not only look refreshed but so much younger! Best gift i have ever given to myself!! Thank you Dr Stallworth and your amazing professional staff!!!😊

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Stallworth. I was referred to him by a local ENT (Dr. Atkins) who told me "You can't do any better. He's truly amazing. I've never seen a bad result from work he has done." When I spoke with the OR nurse pre-op, she also spoke so highly of him and his work. All of his staff members and nurses were great as well and responded quickly when I had questions post-op. Dr. Stallworth also reached out after my procedure to make sure I was doing okay. When other medical providers in the field are recommending someone, I think that speaks very highly of their work and expertise. My entire experience was very extremely smooth and professional. You are in great hands with Dr. Stallworth!

Dr. Christian Stallworth IMPROVED my QUALITY OF LIFE. I find this to be more than enough reason to leave a detailed and HIGH-QUALITY review. The following is my TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE with Dr. Christian Stallworth. We first met at his clinic for a septorhinoplasty consultation. When I first arrived, I had a sense of hopelessness and guilt. When asked why I had made the appointment, guilt compelled me to answer, “Well, it works. I can breathe.” When asked why I would want to undergo a septorhinoplasty, I mentioned that other plastic surgeons recommended septoplasty in addition to rhinoplasty and that my aesthetic goals were to correct the DORSAL HUMP (from a convex to a concave appearance), DROOPING BULBOUS TIP (to a more refine and perky nasal tip), and DECREASE WIDTH. He was the ONLY ONE who EXPLAINED why others recommended the combination of both procedures. I left with a GREAT first IMPRESSION, but I was not yet ready to commit. I wanted to take some time to READ, ANALYZE, and RESEARCH before switching surgeons. I committed my first day off from work to skim, thoroughly read, and critically analyze recently published systematic literature reviews regarding both septoplasty and rhinoplasty procedures. My next step was to compare the AESTHETIC OUTCOMES of HIS PATIENTS to those from other surgeons, use online platforms to gauge which procedures he is ‘known for’, and use others with the mere intention of searching for negative comments. I used this method to compare Dr. Stallworth with the other surgeon. My decision to CANCEL my surgical appointment with the OTHER SURGEON and BOOK my SURGERY with Dr. STALLWORTH was based on 3 FACTORS: (1) LACK OF NEGATIVE FEEDBACK (2) CONSISTENT TRANSFORMATIVE OUTCOMES (3) THOROUGH EXPLANATION REGARDING THE PROCEDURE. The day of the surgery consisted of checking in with the nurse (very welcoming), introductions from each member of the team (the NURSES were absolute ROCK STARS and even used lidocaine to start my IV), pre-surgical jitters and giggles with the nurses, nurse anesthetist, etc. When Dr. Stallworth asked me if I had any questions, I told him that I had none now but that I am sure I would at a later point in time. This is when he offered to PROVIDE my FAMILY with HIS PERSONAL NUMBER so that I could reach him (this meant the world to me). The following post-op appointments were held at his clinic. The first (post-op day 10) consisted of splint and cast removal, a focused assessment, suctioning, and HAPPY TEARS as I looked into the mirror pleasantly surprised by the aesthetic transformation. My second (post-op month 2) consisted of another focused assessment, having my PICTURES taken and comparing the before with the after pictures. I COULD NOT HOLD BACK my SMILE and still find it hard to do so. The only downside to any surgery is rest. It required 2 weeks off from work (as a nurse) and 8 weeks of refraining from my 10K/half-marathon arduous training. I love working out so for me this was the absolute most difficult of tasks to endure. Despite his blessing to resume all activities at week 4, I found it best to take it slow the first 8 weeks. Missing out on runs with my team does mean that I will have to create an entirely self-made workout regimen to meet my original fitness goals. But guess what. This JOURNEY with Dr. Stallworth has been WORTH it. I will be in grad school in November while working full time, training for a race in December, all while raising my fur baby. I cannot guarantee any additional reviews. But I can and I do RECOMMEND Dr. Stallworth for the septorhinoplasty experience. Just know that if you STALL to book with other plastic/ENT surgeons, it is because you have not yet found THE ONE.
